the climber.

We were browsing the wines at the local Top Food (at which I never shop) on our ever-present quest to find 'The Prisoner' somewhere local without resorting to a trip to Portland (which is never a bad thing and certainly not if for the only reason of picking up a bottle of this most fantastic wine) when I spotted this amongst the selection of reds ~

Who would have thought there would actually be a wine called 'The Climber?' I have not yet broken into it but am expecting it to be fabulous (with that sort of theme it has to be!). Clif Bars and red wines.

Oh, and along those lines–who also would have thought Platypus would make–along with their selection of various hydration products–a wine preserver? I noticed this little contraption when I was at REI the other night picking up last-minute items for a climb that had to be postponed due to crap weather this weekend. Oh well. It was not all in vain.

And one last little note–of all wines, this one should have a screw top.

cheers
